| Tripura ranks 4th highest unemployment i | AGARTALA, June 19 (TIWN): Tripura’s massive unemployment once again witnessed on sunday, when more than 1000 candidates thronged into A D Nagar police ground for a mere 56 posts in Jail-Police recruitment drive. Tripura’s massive unemployment developed as serious problem as 7 Lakhs unemployed youths have no place to search jobs other than enrolling names as CPI-M cadres in party offices. With the increase in number of passed out students, the number of unemployed is also spiked up as Tripura ranked 4th highest employment in country. According to the recent Govt data released the total number of unemployed youths nearly 7 Lakhs. Tripura’s lameduck Chief Minister acting like a dictator due to 23 years CPI-M rule, as CM is least bothered about the fates of 7 Lakhs youths. A D Nagar police ground was full of unemployed youths, who were desperate to give their best from running to every test instructed by the officials to get the job to save their livelihood. Even though comrade Manik Sarkar and his boot-licker Ministers, bureaucrats try to paint a rosy picture of Tripura’s so called ‘Golden Era’ but Tripura’s economy, unemployment further nose-dived to darkness. | 19-Jun-2016 |
